Amal Clooney visits Serres hotspot in Greece 07.09.2016

Amal Clooney was reportedly visiting a refuge hotspot in the northern Greek city of Serres. According to local media, she was seen at the hotspot speaking to Yazidi refugees. Yazidis are an ethnic group caught up in the middle of the conflict and have been systematically persecuted by the Islamic State. Many females have been sold and used as sex slaves by Islamist fighters since the beginning of hostilities. According to local TV station ‘Tile-Epiloges’ she plans to legally prosecute ISIS before the International Court of Justice for crimes against the Yazidis and is collecting first hand accounts by the women about their ordeals at the hands of their enslavers to build a legal case.

She was accompanied by Nadia Murad. Nadia Murad will be present at the United Nations HQ in New York on September 19th 2016.
